Calanthe porpliyrea, Rchb. in Gard. Chroii. XXI. (1884), p. 76. 

 Raised in the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart, at Burford 

 Lodge. It is one of the handsomest of hybrid Calanthes, easily 

 distinguished from the preceding by its differently formed and differently 

 coloured labellum. 



C. Sandhurstiana

Flowers as in Calanthe VeitchU as regards form ; deep rose-carmine,

 XXV. (1886), p. 331. 



Raised by the late Mr. P. H. Goss, of Sandhurst, Torquay. One of 



the best coloured of the Calanthe Veitchii group of hybrids. It differs 



but little from the following except in colour, but being derived from a 



different parentage we keep it distinct. A variety with paler flowers is 



in cultivation at Burford Lodge under the name of C. amahilU. 



0. Sedenii. 



C. Veitchii X C. vestita rubro-oculata. 



Flowers nearly as in Calanthe Veitchii, but of a deeper colour, clear

of the lip.

Raised by Seden at our nursery, where it flowered for the first time 



in 1878, and subsequently obtained from the same cross by Mr. Norman 



C. Cookson, of Wylam-on-Tyne. (Jne of the best of the rose-coloured 



Calanthes. 



C. Veitchii. 



C. rosea x C. vestita. 



Pseudo-bulbs 7 — 9 inches long, elongated as in Calanthe rosea, but 



much more robust, with a depression or neck at about one-third of 



their length from the base. Flowers nearer those of C. rosea but 



with a four-lobed lip as in C. vestita less deeply cleft, bright rose 



with a white spot at the base of the lip, the basal lobes of which 



arc rolled inwards towards the column, and not adnate to it.
